Reply to comment by monachopsiss in Pennsylvania family drugged dog, wore ear protection in triple suicide pact by dissolutewastrel

I'm sorry if the reality of these drugs offends you, but this is the state of mental health medication for many of us. What we need isn't hating on people who suffer, it's more emphasis into developing better drugs rather than continuing to rely on the same types of medications we've been using since the days of institutionalization.

As I clearly stated in my original response to you, I am aware of that. But it's your experience. Not everyone's.

Obviously we'd all love to snap our fingers and have perfect meds for every condition with zero negative side effects. But since that will never be possible, we shouldn't discourage people from at least trying something that could literally save their life.
